2. Dimango Company is considering whether it would be financially advisable to retire its existing long term debt with a cheaper loan. The current loan of Sh 10 million has an annual interest charge of 15% and has 10 years to maturity. The company has Sh 125,000 of unamortized loan expenses still in the books.

If the company decides to redeem the loan, there is an early payment penalty amounting to 10% of the loan. A new Sh 10 million loan can be raised at 13% per annum for a ten year period. It is expected that underwriting costs will amount to Sh 600,000. In addition to these costs, the company will be further required to pay interest for the two months which would allow the normal interest payment due to be reached for the old loan. Dimango Company is in the 40% income tax bracket.
